A modern icon - now in Waterproof!

Gatherer brings innovation to a classic plains mukluk silhouette. The streamlined design, fleece-lined 15-inch full grain leather shaft, and sheepskin-lined footbed make her extremely warm and very wearable. But it's the rich details—from a shaft-top drawstring to the lovely grasses hand-etched into the rich leather—that will make your heart sing year after year. This true classic is rated to -32C.

Glacier Grip Tipi Sole

Mukluks and moccasins with the Tipi sole are true to size and will stretch slightly with wear to form a custom, comfortable fit. This symmetrical sole has been used on Indigenous footwear for thousands of years. Unlike a standard boot or shoe, it is normal for your toes to touch the end inside, but they should not be curled up or in pain.

Tipi soles fit true to size, we recommend ordering your normal shoe size. If you are a half size, go down to the nearest full size.

There is no left or right foot in this type of sole, the material will form to your foot for a custom fit.


This sole type does not have a distinct left and right foot.

Some of our mukluks and natural-soled moccasins are not built on a traditional foot last (the solid form on which most shoes are molded), so there is no "left" or "right" sole. This method has been used on Indigenous footwear for thousands of years. It's completely natural for the shoes to feel slightly "off" or awkward when new, but over time the natural materials will form to your foot and allow you to have a completely custom fit.

Perfect for slush.

The AuthenTEC Waterproof System lets you take on winter in style with boots crafted with three layers of waterproof sealant, rich waterproof leather and suede and a full sheepskin footbed that keeps you dry and cozy all day.

Manitobah conducts rigorous waterproof and temperature testing using a minimum 50,000 flex standard.


Protection

Use a silicone-based leather/suede protector. Do not spray fur, as it contains natural protective oils.

To Clean

Leather can be cleaned using a gentle soap and soft brush. For salt, wipe down with a damp cloth. Even if they have been sprayed, salt is corrosive and can cause damage. 

To Dry

Once wet, allow your footwear to dry naturally.

Wear

Never pull fur when putting on or removing boot, fur sheds over time and frequent friction will cause the fur to shed much faster. Cross laces over before tightening to avoid tearing leather eyeholes.

Storage

When ready to store them for the season you should clean them, allow them to dry and then pack them away in a sealed container away from heat, moisture and pets (a plastic storage tote works great.) You can also use a pool noodle or something similar in the shaft to keep them upright during storage.
